Chapter 262
When a beam of light came close to this soldier, it was deflected, heading toward Erik’s troops. Fortunately, it was momentarily bombarded away by the beams.
Almost on command, the dead body of the reflective soldier was shared among Silas’s soldiers, who began developing the same characteristics. Edward, still in the sky, noticed this and frowned.
"A queen?" he thought in confusion as he scanned the battlefield from above, searching for the new leader.
Erik, observing the rapidly evolving enemy, knew they had to act swiftly. "King Edward, we need to focus our attacks!" he shouted, his voice barely audible over the cacophony of battle. "We can’t let them adapt any further!"
Edward nodded and signaled his troops. They reformed, focusing their firepower on the newly emerged reflective soldiers. The sky lit up with concentrated beams, each strike precise and relentless.
Despite their efforts, the reflective soldiers proved resilient. Their mirror-like surfaces deflected many of the attacks, causing chaos among Erik’s ranks.
Amidst the chaos, Erik’s mind raced for a solution. He needed to find a way to penetrate the reflective defense. An idea sparked, and he quickly relayed his plan to Edward.
"Edward, we need to change our tactics! Aim for the ground around them, create a dust cloud to obscure their vision!"
Edward acknowledged the plan and relayed the orders. The aerial troops adjusted their aim, targeting the ground near the reflective soldiers. Explosions erupted, creating a thick cloud of dust and debris that enveloped the enemy.
The reflective soldiers, momentarily blinded and disoriented, began to falter. Seizing the opportunity, despite being tired, Erik rallied his ground forces. "Charge! Now is our chance!"
With Erik leading from the ground and with the support of Edward from the sky, Silas’s remaining troops were quickly being taken out. Erik even began using the corpses of dead Silas soldiers as bait, making them easier to kill.
